Answer 1

Great answer, had some fun converting it into swift, took me a while so here is it for anyone else having the same issue:

var video: NSData!
let strUploadUrl = "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json"
let strStatusUrl = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json"

func postVideo() {
    var client = Twitter.sharedInstance().APIClient
    var text: String = "Testing Video"
    var videoLength: String = "\(self.video.length)" 
    var mediaID: String = ""

    var initError: NSError? 
    var message = ["status": text, "command" : "INIT", "media_type" : "video/m4v", "total_bytes" : videoLength]
    var preparedRequest: NSURLRequest = client.URLRequestWithMethod("POST", URL: self.strUploadUrl, parameters: message, error: &initError)
    client.sendTwitterRequest(preparedRequest, completion: { (urlResponse: NSURLResponse?, responseData: NSData?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
        if error == nil {
            var jsonError: NSError?
            var json: NSDictionary = (NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(responseData!, options: nil, error: &jsonError) as? NSDictionary)!
            println(json)
            var mediaID = json.objectForKey("media_id_string") as! String

            client = Twitter.sharedInstance().APIClient
            var uploadError: NSError?
            var videoString = self.video.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(nil)
            message = ["command" : "APPEND", "media_id" : mediaID, "segment_index" : "0", "media" : videoString]
            var preparedRequest = client.URLRequestWithMethod("POST", URL: self.strUploadUrl, parameters: message, error: &uploadError)
            client.sendTwitterRequest(preparedRequest, completion: { (urlResponse: NSURLResponse?, responseData: NSData?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                if error == nil {
                    client = Twitter.sharedInstance().APIClient
                    var finalizeError: NSError?
                    message = ["command":"FINALIZE", "media_id": mediaID]
                    var preparedRequest = client.URLRequestWithMethod("POST", URL: self.strUploadUrl, parameters: message, error: &finalizeError)
                    client.sendTwitterRequest(preparedRequest, completion: { (urlResponse: NSURLResponse?, responseData: NSData?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                        if error == nil {
                            client = Twitter.sharedInstance().APIClient
                            var sendError: NSError?
                            var message = ["status": text, "wrap_links": "true", "media_ids": mediaID]
                            var updateMessage = NSMutableDictionary(dictionary: message)
                            var preparedRequest = client.URLRequestWithMethod("POST", URL: self.strStatusUrl, parameters: message , error: &sendError)
                            client.sendTwitterRequest(preparedRequest, completion: { (urlResponse: NSURLResponse?, responseData: NSData?, error: NSError?) -> Void in

                            })
                        } else {
                            println("Command FINALIZE failed \n \(error!)")
                        }
                    })
                } else {
                    println("Command APPEND failed")
                }
            })
        } else {
            println("Command INIT failed")
        }
    })

}
